an illustration by JVL in Biology and the Social Crisis by JK Brierley, Heinemann, 1967.

This illustration depicts Gregor Mendel (1822-1884). Mendel was recognised (posthumously) to be the founder of the science of genetics. He showed that the inheritance of certain characteristics of pea plants follow particular patterns.
